Chinese state media has been flooding Facebook and Instagram with undisclosed political ads blaming President Donald Trump for the Wuhan coronavirus. Facebook said in a statement that it was an error that the ads were not classified as political and is correcting them.
The Telegraph reports that Chinese state media has been posting undisclosed political ads to Facebook and Instagram in an attempt to downplay Chinas role in the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic and blaming President Donald Trump. Three Chinese state media outlets, Xinhua, China Central Television, and the Global Times, have targeted ads towards users across the world in English, Chinese, and Arabic.
The ads have reportedly been seen millions of times and extol Chinas efforts to fight the coronavirus while downplaying the countries domestic outbreak. The articles portray President Trump as misguided and racist and suggest that the virus may have originated in the United States. [China] has taken stringent and forceful measures, and turned the tide on coronavirus, said one ad. Another states: Trumps disruption to China has severe consequences.
All of the ads initially ran without a political disclaimer which allowed them to hide information about who the ads were targeting and where they originated from. Several of the articles focused on President Trumps use of the term Chinese virus to describe the coronavirus while others highlighted statements from Chinese president Xi Jinping.
The Telegraph reached out to Facebook about the ads, the social media network stated that it was an error that the ads were not classified as political and has since corrected the issue. A spokesperson also stated that many of the ads are running in countries where Facebook requires no disclosure making it difficult to determine how much more propaganda may have gone unnoticed on the site.

Well, my posts got repeatedly rejected as spam for no apparent reason, so I wonder if they are applying the same standards here at Fascist Book.
An avowed ant-Islamic on facebook who use to be a muslim constantly gets death threats. When he complained facebook said the threats did not go against community stanards.
We should havre NO Chinese citizens holding US grants as primary investigators. None. We should have NO Chinese citizens with access to any US intellectual property or national security secrets. We should absolutely NOT allow Chinese nationals to hold positions in the US AND in China (there are a substantial number who do).
Fakebook...who needs it?
china did this.
Don’t buy chinese junk.
I guess the Chicoms are in cahoots with the Rats.
“Facebook is happy to have all the anti-Trump ads.”
Facistbook staffers are giggling and high-fiving over the ads, I’m certain.
Russian election meddling evil, Chinese election meddling is just all right.
China is in for a world of hurt. A company would be nuts to try to sell products made in China. See production move more towards India. Attacking Trump is not a winning strategy.
More “Chinese Information”
Right up there with:
- Unicorn farts
- Big foot sightings
- climate change models
This just makes China look even more guilty in starting this Virus, and make sure that it spread.
And is Chinese.
They appear also to have hired a troll army to post vile comments all over DailyMail, which has become unreadable in its horrible bashing of our President.
Here’s how I solved this problem: I don’t go on Facebook or Instagram. Easy!
chia is talking war....to its people
Facebook must die.
Bingo!
Oh noooos. China and the PanDemic RATS are trying to sway the presidential election. We need FISA warrants put out on anyone in the RAT camp who has spoken to anyone from China in the past thirty years.
